Established in 1988 on a student initiative, the Art Purchases Committee began with a modest fund to purchase and display contemporary art throughout campus.
The scheme has resulted in a collection of over 192 notable works of art, most of which are by contemporary New Zealand artists, many former students or teachers at the School of Fine Arts. The collection has a major strength relating to the rise of printmaking in New Zealand, and minor strengths in its reflection of the practice and philosophy of contemporary Māori artists and women artists. Artists represented in the collection include:
- Laurence Aberhart
